Addiction Treatment for the 21st Century.
Mark L. Willenbring, M.D. founder and CEO of Alltyr Clinic
Before Dr. Willenbring conceptualized and founded Alltyr, he was Director of the Treatment and Recovery Research Division of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism/National Institutes of Health. Prior to that he was Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Minnesota. He is Board Certified in General Psychiatry with Added Qualifications in Addiction and Forensic Psychiatry. In his research at NIH/NIAAA, he worked to develop and test innovative management strategies for patients with complex addiction problems, such as combined mental and addictive disorders, medically ill heavy drinkers, and homeless public inebriates. He has also played a leading role in development of evidence-based clinical practice guidelines for treating addictive disorders, and co-led in a national initiative to determine the utility and feasibility of implementing practice guidelines in the treatment of addictive disorders within the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Dr. Willenbring has worked his entire career to stimulate new directions in research on treatment and recovery, health services research, and to disseminate new research findings in order to facilitate their adoption. Alltyr Clinic is the new model for addiction treatment in the 21st Century.
Alltyr takes the latest scientific understanding and new tools for the treatment of substance use disorders and makes them available to the people who need them: patients and families. Clinical treatment is delivered with care, compassion and respect, in collaboration with the patient, resulting in a truly individualized treatment plan. Our approach is pragmatic, focused on doing whatever needs to be done to promote the well being of the patient and the community in the most cost-effective way. Research and education are highly valued and Alltyr will work to develop and apply new knowledge and to educate health care professionals as well as the broader community.
